FUEL
Use No.2-D (SAE J313) diesel fuel with a Cetane rating
of
#45
or
higher. Grade
of
diesel fuel according
to
ASTM
D975.
In conjunction with Ultra
Low
Sulphur Diesel. Use an
additive such as Diesel Kleen
+ Cetane Boost to help restore
lubricity
back
into the diesel.
FUEL
WATER
SEPARATOR
A primary fuel filter
of
the water separating type must be
installed between the fuel tank and the engine to remove
water and other contaminants from the fuel before they can
be
carried to the fuel system on the engine.
A typical fuel filter/water separator is illustrated
in
this
diagram. This is the
'R.aycor
Model 500 MA. Keep in mind
that
if
a water separator type filter is not installed between the
fuel supply tank and engine-mounted fuel system, any water
in the fuel will affect the fuel pump, engine filter, and injec-
tion equipment. The owner/operator is responsible for making
certain the fuel reaching the engine's injection equipment is
free
of
impurities. This process is accomplished by installing
and maintaining a proper filtration/separation system.

element
recommended.
The
fucl injection
pump
is the most important component
of
the diesel engine, requiring the utmost caution in handling.
The
fuel injection pump has been thoroughly bench-tested
and the owner-operator is cautioned not to attempt to service
it.
If
it
requires servicing, remove
it
and take it to an
authorized fuel
injection pump service facility.
Do
not
attempt to disassemble and repair it.
Do
not send the timing
shims with the injection pump, leave
on
engine.
BLEED
SCREW
The
bleed
sct-ew
on the injection pump should be left in the
open position. This will then allow for ease in priming the
engine's fuel system and during engine operation allow for
air in the system to be delivered to the fuel tank through the
fuel return system.

Periodically check the fuel connections and the filter bowl for
leakage. Change the filter element after the first
50 hours. See
the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Changing
the
Filter
Cartridge
1.
Shut off the fuel supply.
NOTE:
Slide a plastic bag
up
over
the
fuel filter cartridge
as it will be full
of
fuel.
2. Unscrew the cartridge from its housing and remove the
cartridge and its gasket.
3.
Wipe both the housing and the top
of
the new cartridge
with clean fuel.
4.
To
help reduce fuel system priming, fill the fuel filter
with diesel before installing. This will dramatically
reduce the priming time needed to purge air from the
engines fuel system before starting.
5. Install the new cartridge and spin on real tight by hand.
6.
Open the fuel supply. Run the engine to inspect for leaks.

Periodically check the fuel connections to and out
of
the
pump and make sure that no leakage is present and that the
fittings are tight and secure. The DC ground connection at
one
of
the pumps mounting bolts should be clean and well
secured by the mounting bolts to ensure proper pump
operations.

FILTER
To ensure clean fuel into the fuel lift pump, there is a small
in-line fuel filter connected to the fuel lift pump elbow. This
filter should be replaced every
250 hours
of
operation.
